Bring It On!

Praying "In the name of Jesus Christ" cost Rev. Danny Harvey his job as a hospital Chaplain at Leesburg Regional Medical Center for seven years.   Rev. Harvey was dismissed from his pastoral post last month because he refused to stop praying any other way ~~ even among the hospital's non-Christian patients, staff and visitors.   Rev. Harvey, 49, said he couldn't stop invoking the name Jesus Christ in prayer.

 

His firing raises questions about the role of a chaplain in a hospital that treats patients of many different faiths.  Leesburg Regional sits in the center of a largely Christian community, but the city, like much of Central Florida, is becoming increasingly diverse.

 

Rev. Harvey's dismissal also has drawn the attention of Christian clergy in the Leesburg area. On Saturday they plan to lead a two-mile prayerful walk around the medical center, and they intend to wear T-shirts emblazoned with the rallying cry, "My Jesus, My Freedom, My Stand."

 

He described Saturday's march as a "uniting of Christians in the name of Jesus Christ" and not an attack on the hospital, whose labor lawyer has threatened to weigh "legal remedies" against Rev. Harvey.

 

He said he tried to help connect patients with their own faith, but when he was asked to pray, he refused to deny his own. Rev. Harvey said, "I'd say, 'I'm a believer in Jesus Christ and I pray in Jesus Christ's name.   I try to be clear.  I'm not praying to you, the patient. . . . I'm praying to God."

 

I guess he forgot also he was praying for the patient and not for himself as well.

 

He was called to minister to the spiritual needs of the patient.   It's not all about Rev Harvey himself but about the people he serves, period.  Chaplains who pray publicly must speak generally.  Not everyone believes in Jesus.  This is a legal issue, not just a spiritual one.   But others will make it into a religious issue.

 

A chaplain must be able to serve all faiths in a time of crisis, said the Manager of Spiritual Care for Orlando Regional Healthcare System, which employees 50 full and part-time chaplains of different faiths, genders and races.   The hospital follows guidelines of the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education, which preaches respect for all religions so it would seem Rev. Harvey feels differently and refuses to follow the guidelines with the attitude of things only being his way and belief, so as a result, he lost his job.

 

No one should impose their personal beliefs or opinions upon those in need, you serve as a universal representative of the divine and if you can't, you need to find a church and serve there which clearly shows that would be the best thing for Rev. Harvey.

 

The issue was not about praying "In the Name of Jesus Christ", which has been claimed, but that his official duties of his paid position were not being met.  Those duties included being respectful of the different religious beliefs of patients and the ability to lead them in their faith in their time of need.

 

It would seem that anything different from “In the Name of Jesus Christ” is against Rev. Harvey’s beliefs making this into a religious issue so wouldn’t he be showing a bit of an act of prejudice against others whom believe or pray differently after letting everyone know it's only by his way and nothing else but?

 

He should keep himself, (out of the goodness of his set heart), availible for those "In the Name of Jesus Christ" only!   But of course he will take charitable donations for it "In the Name of Jesus Christ" of course to help support the cause since he is now off the payroll, just give him a call.    Dial 1800 My Jesus! (not really)

What do you believe?

This new dollar coin released by our government is one that may go down in history being the first of its kind without the "In God We Trust" being placed in any US money!   Some people are outraged over this saying our government is not basing the Christianity for which this Country was established on!   Is the government turning everything around just to please the USA's different realigns or are they looking to change things for another reason?

What do you think about our new US coin and it's lack of those common words that is placed on all our other money here in the US?   Will you refuse one and request a bill instead as a protest or do you just think "Its Only Money, not a big deal"?

This is the story of God’s Jewish Warriors, people who risk their lives – and their children's – to live in and claim what they believe is their religious birthright: East Jerusalem, with its holy Temple Mount, and the rocky hills of the West Bank, steeped in the history of patriarchs, prophets and biblical kings.

When God’s Jewish Warriors used guerilla political tactics to build a settlers movement after the 1967 Six Day War, their goal was to incorporate the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip into Israel. After 40 years, they have created situations that are difficult – maybe impossible – to change as long as religious fervor on both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict stands in the way of territorial compromise.

God’s Jewish Warriors believe they are commanded to live on this biblical land and that doing so will hasten the coming of the Messiah. At their most extreme, Jewish zealots are even willing to murder in God’s name to cripple land-for-peace negotiations.

Meanwhile, the United States’ staunch support of Israel inflames much of the Muslim world and puts America in the crosshairs of jihad.

Through this episode of God’s Warriors, we cut to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a knot tied so tightly by religious “fundamentalists” that it could strangle U.S. attempts to stabilize the explosive Middle East.

Research began in September 2006 and continued through March 2007. Shooting began in February of this year and finished in June.

The production crew of God’s Jewish Warriors traveled to Israel and the West Bank, London and within the United States to Washington, D.C.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Chicago; Melbourne, Fla.; Boca Raton, Fla.; and Atlanta.

"God's Muslim Warriors", “God's Christian Warriors”, “God’s Jewish Warriors “, Oh PLEASE!!!!! It seems religion is taking a whole new turn and has been for a while now well WHAT”S NEXT! Just how far are they really willing to go?

Your thought PLEASE!!! BLOG IT HERE!!!

New US rules, state plan linked

Thousands of Massachusetts children from low-income families could be denied health insurance under new rules imposed by the Bush administration late last week. The rules could cut federal matching funds for a state-run program that is a key component of the state's health insurance initiative.

But congressional leaders, including Senator Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, said yesterday that they would fight the changes, which are the latest volley in the national battle over the future of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP.

Using a combination of state and federal funds, the program covers some 6.6 million children nationally and 90,500 in Massachusetts in low-income families.

As part of its health insurance reform, Massachusetts expanded eligibility to children in families earning up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, or $61,950 for a family of four. The change was made last year with federal approval and brought coverage to about 14,000 more Massachusetts children.

In Massachusetts, the program is the main means of insuring children in families above the poverty level who do not qualify for Medicaid and who frequently cannot afford private insurance. The state's health insurance initiative did not include any other effort to cover children.

The new federal rules could block enrollment of more children above 250 percent of the poverty level and could make it tougher for the state to continue covering about 4,500 already enrolled. State officials said they do not yet have a count of the number who are eligible but not enrolled.

"We need to do further analysis to determine how these new requirements translate for Massachusetts," Stephanie Anthony, the state's deputy Medicaid director, said in a prepared statement. Healthcare advocates said the requirements would hurt the Massachusetts insurance initiative.

"It would result in more kids in Massachusetts going without needed health insurance," said Brian Rosman, research director for Health Care for All. "It would . . . take away one of the essential components of comprehensive reform."

At least 17 other states similarly expanded their coverage in recent years, and five more are considering these changes, according to Families USA, a healthcare advocacy group.

But the Bush administration has become concerned about those expansions, and on Friday, the office that oversees the program sent a letter to state officials across the country imposing rules that would make it extremely difficult for most states to enroll new children from families with incomes above 250 percent of the federal poverty level.

Children already enrolled in the program should not be cut off, according to Dennis Smith, the federal official who sent the letter, although Kennedy's staff and Massachusetts advocates suggested it might have that effect.

"SCHIP was created for children in low-income families," said Smith, director of the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. "We want to make sure those kids are covered before we go to the higher-income kids."

Smith said the administration is enforcing rules designed to ensure that the program is not substituting for private insurance.

But supporters of the coverage expansion said the requirements were an attempt to circumvent congressional plans to extend the program and expand its funding. Both the House and Senate have passed bills to continue the SCHIP program for five years and allow enrollment of children from higher-income families, although Congress recessed for a summer break before resolving differences between the two bills. President Bush has previously threatened to veto the measures.

"Once again, the Bush administration has shown itself to be out of touch and out of step with the priorities of working Americans," Kennedy said yesterday in a prepared statement. "The administration's action denies the promise of good health to thousands of children in communities across America."

The federal government is requiring states to take a number of steps over the next year if they want to continue to cover children at higher incomes, and Anthony said Massachusetts meets only some of these requirements.

Under the requirements, children must be without insurance for a year before they can be enrolled, and families of children in the program must pay fees for care similar to those paid by families with private insurance. In addition, the state must show that it has enrolled at least 95 percent of children below 200 percent of poverty and that the number of children insured through private companies has not dropped more than 2 percentage points over five years. The latter requirement is supposed to ensure that employers aren't dropping family coverage.

The new requirements were first reported yesterday by The New York Times.

In Massachusetts, a national survey from 2005 showed that 94.4 percent of children below 200 percent of poverty were insured, she said, close to the 95 percent requirement.

But the state only imposes a six-month waiting period. She said the state will have to analyze whether its policies comply with the other rules.

I often wonder why it is that our children are being tossed aside along with the rest of us but "CHILDREN"...COME ON!!!

What do you think should be done and please give your inputs on this subject????

High blood pressure often missed in children

Oversight could have devastating effects years later
Doctors fail to diagnose high blood pressure in more than three-quarters of children with the problem, putting them at risk for heart disease and other organ damage later in life, a new study suggests.

Calculating elevated blood pressure in children is more complicated than in adults, and many doctors might not bother evaluating kids' pressure because they assume hypertension is an adult problem, the study found.

"Hypertension is a disease that doesn't cause symptoms, particularly in children," said Dr. Richard Lange, chief of clinical cardiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who did not participate in the study. "But it starts to affect the blood vessels to the heart, kidney and brain, and many of the effects could be irreversible."

The condition, which is largely treatable, affects as many as 5 percent of children and is becoming more prevalent as obesity increases, researchers said in a paper published yesterday in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

They examined the medical records of 14,187 children between the ages of 3 and 18 who had at least three routine checkups in which their blood pressure was taken. The checkups occurred between June 1999 and September 2006.

The review determined that 507 children, or 3.6 percent, had high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Of those cases, 376, or 74 percent, weren't diagnosed.

Also, 485 children, or 3.4 percent, had prehypertension, a term for blood pressure on the high end of the normal range. Of those cases, only 55, or 11 percent, were properly diagnosed.

Dr. David C. Kaelber, the lead researcher and a fellow at Harvard Medical School, told the Associated Press that untreated high blood pressure in children can eventually damage the heart, kidneys, eyes and brain. It also puts children at a higher risk for stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and hardening of the arteries.

Children who were taller, older and obese were more likely to be diagnosed with high blood pressure. Also those whose pressure readings stood out to doctors because of how abnormal they were, were more likely to be diagnosed with the condition, Kaelber said.

Kaelber, who practices at Children's Hospital in Boston, urged parents to talk to their children's doctors. "Just as now most parents, when they go to their pediatrician, they ask: 'How is my child growing? How is my child's weight?'" he said, "I would just encourage parents to add a third question: 'How is my child's blood pressure?'"

Dr. Richard Ringel, a pediatric cardiologist at Hopkins, said there are many possible explanations for doctors' failure to diagnose hypertension in their young patients.

"Many of the kids that we see come into the office so anxious, so nervous, that ... you take the first blood pressure, and by the time you take it again at the end of the visit, you very often have a 10- to 20-point drop," he said. So doctors may dismiss a high reading as anxiety, not an underlying pathology.

Hopkins' Lange said screening children in school might catch hypertension in pre-teens and teens who visit doctors less often than younger children.

He argued that the root cause of most childhood hypertension - the obesity epidemic - also needs attention. "It stems from our lifestyle - inactivity and obesity," he said.

But Dr. Robert Blake, a pediatrician at the St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, noted that the problem doesn't always stem from lifestyle. Problems regulating blood pressure are more common among African-American children than others, Blake said. In some cases, he said, the problem is best treated with medication.

He agreed, however, that most childhood hypertension is preventable. "It boils down to maintaining proper body weight for body height, looking at your diet including sodium intake and the amount of exercise you're doing," he said.

Dr. Susan R. Mendley, director of pediatric nephrology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, said it might be difficult for pediatricians to deliver the news to parents. "Physicians are reluctant to make a bad diagnosis if they can't be confident," she said. "It's a tough thing to explain that the child might have a problem, but we won't know for decades."

Today's pediatricians, she said, must see themselves in a new light. "We've always been preventers of childhood illnesses," she said. "But we really have to see children as soon-to-be young adults and make sure we do all we can to protect them from the diseases of adulthood."

Court is in Sesson with 11 juror's!     Something happened and here's what happened!!

They started their questions from where we left off of course and everything seemed to go well.   The Prosecution seemed a bit stressed and rarely smiled.   I had noticed they were concentrating on 15 certain people with certain subjects of questions and then the bomb hit when the defense asked if anyone in some way didn’t trust the criminal judicial court laws and procedures or questioned it in some means….well, I could not lie and I was the only one that raised their hand and was asked to explain so I told them…..just as soon as I was finished the prosecution right then called for a council with the judge and defense….they then said they are going into jury selection session to narrow down the juror’s.   It took about 30 minutes and we were called back in and the names they called were ten men and one woman making 11 and as the judge was dismissing us, everyone of them was looking straight at me and smiled and I stood and said thank you to the judge, walked to the door and held the door for everyone else as they exited, and home I went.   

Funny how things wines up happening….in a way I feel like I screwed up and felt down about not being called or chosen!    I kind of wanted to do this because I was intrigued and curious with it.    Oh well!!!   I guess I’m no longer juror material.    Someone didn't like what they heard at the last minute.....they just had to ask that last question didn't they.

I know some of  you wonders why would I feel that way but law interests me.     But what it all connected to were the Words Media and Internet....this is one time I should have shut my mouth and not raised my hand on that last question.    I know....as my father would say, " Repeat after me, D U M B", I'm beating myself up now so go ahead and take your best shots!

Oh, and for some extra 411 as I told droanx in P1 and mentioned to BrendG concerning this matter, there were a number of juror's there being interviewed that has law enforcement relitives and 5 of the 11 were chosen to serve...

SOOOOOOO, your input or shots (???)

COURT IS NOW IN SESSION!!! 

Here I am sitting in the court house with the possiblity of becoming a jurior!   There is allot of responsibilities that comes with this postion and the main thing that concerns me is that being self employeed (owning your own business),  but you don't have anyone else to rely on to do your job and you get paid by the courts $15 per day with your own expenses for food and drink, it can become costly just to serve and do your duty as a citizen to serve for justice!   I may take a big time cut in pay for this week because my chances of being selected, I feel, may be great.   A whole week of no pay because once I subtract the expenses, I will still be in the minus.   Of course there is that end of the year tax deduction for loss but you have to go with also the possibility of not having enough to pay your bill when you rely on that weeks income to keep your bills in control!   I will be the best that I can be for our court system and take the gamble if it is asked, requested, or recommended that I do so.

But how is it really justified where you are concerned?   Do you think the companies that bill you and expect payment will excuse you if you just so happen to become late in payment?   Will some kind of excuse from the courts, just like given from a doctor, would eliminate that possible late fee you may endure?    So many questions which lead up to one answer to all....NO!!!

Have you had to endure anything like this as well?

What do you feel would be right or a better means of protecting those who is given no other choice or risk going to jail for contempt of court?

I would really like everyones input with this!

Thank you Christine for the info on Amy....we all had a good time at the charity concert at the Bar Out Back.....and Jim, great performance for you and your band!!!    It was great seeing you both there!!!    The charity Concert was a big hit filed with lots of BIKERS, serveral 100 in fact and all having a great time!!!!

For some of you this message may be left on your answering machine or you may receive the phone call from FEMA!

Message as Follows……..

 

This message is for individuals who applied for disaster assistance from FEMA between 1998 & 2004.    If you did not receive assistance from FEMA within those years, please disregard this message.    FEMA was recently ordered by a US Court to provide certain newspapers with home addresses of people who applied to FEMA  for help with their disaster losses.   The court requires FEMA to provide the newspapers with the home addresses of disaster applicants.   This message is to inform you that as part of the court order your home address will be released to the newspapers in the next few days.   FEMA is not releasing your name or any other personal information, only your address.   You will receive a letter from FEMA in the next few days regarding this matter at the last address we had in our records for you.   Please understand FEMA is committed to protecting your feta, however, FEMA must comply with the court order in this case.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!  Thank you and Goodbye!

For anyone that has applied for assistance from FEMA this will apply to you and include your addresses for those newspapers.   It’s apparent that FEMA had no other choice in this matter and they fought through the courts to keep your privacy rights in tact and lost part of this fight.

Are you one of whom applied for FEMA assistance?

Do you feel this information that FEMA has been court ordered to provide to the newspaper is an invasion of your privacy?

Do you now feel your address information is at risk in any way?

Did this court order go too far by not including all home owners involve in this decision?

What is your opinions????        BLOG IT HERE!!!

Much to my shock, former Jeb Bush economic advisor J. Antonio Villamil wrote a scanting study against property tax reform. Villamil makes it clear that schools are not exempt from budget cuts.

School funding is not exempted from the likely local revenue reductions if the voters approve the proposals, with Tallahassee “promising” to somehow make up the decline in local school revenues.

Villamil states that the new reforms are so confusing that many economists have trouble understanding how they will work. The tax cut creates potential problems for funding essential services such as police and fire rescue. This lends credence to the Hank Fishkind report that there aren't huge amounts of fiscal fat in local budgets.

Renters and commercial property owners will feel no benefit from the property tax cuts. That was never the point. Jeb Bush ignored the cries of homeowners before he left office and Crist and the State legislature wanted to quickly appease angry constituents.

Homestead exemption will be tied to the Florida Personal Income Per Capita. The latter is an estimate of the average income per resident in a county or municipalities. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates PIPC at a slow rate and can not completely account for new residents moving into Florida. Villamil's concern is that Florida will not have enough tax revenue to meet growth demands or a Katrina-level disaster.

It's bad when one of Jeb Bush's former advisors is against a tax cut.

All this talk but yet I haven’t seen any kind of relieve or action but I can tell you what I have noticed as some of you should have by now...

Today I received my Notice of Proposed Property Taxes! I endured another disappointed when I see our Property Taxes increased! The taxable value jumped $3800 higher from 2006 for 2007. We bought our place in 1999 when we moved down here from North Carolina...big mistake, our Property taxes has been reassessed and increased every year and keeps going up and up and up! I thought we were suppose to be getting a cut but when???

It seems to me that even if they do gives us some kind of break (I will believe it when I see it) but if they continue to increase our taxes then where is the cut? It seems they are trying to make up for the money they are going to need for the Venues costs. "Their Butt kissing spending needs all our full support!" Even with the so called tax cut…it will not make much difference so why even talk about it because it doesn’t seem like any kind of cuts will show or reform to any real relieve! Is all this talk just talk and another big politician lie?

Your thoughts please......

Posted by Sarah Lundy on Aug 2, 2007 with Orlando Sentinel

Florida ranked second in the country in the number of drive-by shootings, according to a study by the Violence Policy Center this week.

The Sunshine state had 57 drive-by shootings from July 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2006, second only to California, with 115 shootings and. Texas ranked third with 56.

This sounds scary. But look closer at the study and it raises some questions.

The top three states - California, Florida and Texas - also are some of the most populous states in the country.

The Violence Policy Center folks used Google to find stories with the term "drive by" it them.

In six months, 549 drive-by shootings were reported in the news media.

In a quick review of Orlando Sentinel coverage of drive-by shootings, sometimes reporters use the term and sometimes they don't.

For example, T'iana Stokes was shot in the neck while preparing to feed her 3-month old baby on June 27. There was no mention of the phrase "drive by" even though that's what it was.

As an update, Stokes is doing well, her grandmother Claudia Buckles said. She still has the bullet lodged in her jaw but it's not going to stop her from enjoying her senior year of high school. The gunman who fired at least five shots into the bedroom window has not yet been caught.

Local cops say drive-by shootings do happen here, but not at high rate. They don't keep individual stats on the issue so it's all anecdotal.

Violence Policy Center officials know their study was not perfect but hoped it sparked discussion among policy makers. They hope the FBI or someone will start tracking drive by shootings nationwide, said Josh Sugermann, one of the co-authors of the study.

Do you think this has gone far enough with all these drive by shootings?
Is there a better means of catching these criminals and bring them to justice?

As you may have heard…A woman in Geneva was bitten by a Moccasin!   They are one of the nastiest poisonous snakes!   My husband can even tell you a story on that one so it is very important for everyone to know more about them and how to identify them.

 

Although there are 45 species of snakes which are found in Florida, only 6 are venomous and a danger to humans.   The remaining 39 species (and 41 subspecies) are harmless and should be protected for the beneficial role they play in natural ecosystems, eating insects, rodents, rabbits, and other small prey. A word of caution is warranted here.   If you find a snake and you do not know whether or not it is venomous, the safest thing to do is leave it alone.   Most will flee when human’s approach.   Occasionally, you might encounter one that is reluctant to leave because it is basking in the sun to get warm. Among snakebite victims, an unacceptably high number are bitten on the hands and arms when they are handling the snake.   Do not catch a snake and do not handle one unless you are sure it is not venomous.   In addition, for a short time after a snake is killed, its reflexes may continue to work.   Those reflexes typically cause the body to writhe slowly for awhile, but they can cause a convulsive contraction and a bite, so you should not handle a freshly killed venomous snake.

The only acceptable treatment for venomous snakebite, involves the use of antivenin.   So if you or someone else is bitten by a venomous snake, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest hospital or medical facility.   Stay calm, remove any rings that could restrict circulation if tissues swell, keep the bitten limb below the level of the heart, and immediately seek medical attention.   Your most important aids in getting to a hospital and treatment may be vehicle or a cell phone. List of deadly Florida snakes are:

1)  Southern copperhead, Copperhead, Highland Moccasin, Chunk head.

2)  Cottonmouth, Florida Cottonmouth, Cottonmouth Moccasin, Water Moccasin, Moccasin

3)  Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Diamondback, Rattlesnake, Rattler.

4)  Timber Rattlesnake, Canebrake Rattlesnake.

5)  Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake, Pygmy Rattler, Ground Rattler

6)  Eastern Coral Snake, Coral Snake.

 

You can check out these snakes by clicking on the link below…pictures are provided along with test description and information for your knowledge!

Be very careful when you are outside, the snakes are out and with all the rain they travel around more so watch out and inspect and scope out the area carefully.   Remember they can sense fear and body heat, so please get to know how to identify each dangerous snake and teach this to your children as well….they can show up anywhere!

Who is guilty of such a thing.....Kids mostly but there are some adults as well! What do Cyber Bullies use for bullying?   Emails & Text Messaging using computers or cell phones! It seems that this way of harassment has become a greater and growing trend and when it is done through your phone or computer, you are the guilty party liable...Why...your phone, your responsible even when someone else may use it for doing bad things and bully others....your computer is also your responsibility and what is put on your computer or sent through your computer makes you liable! So what happens when you or someone else should threaten or even harasse someone else....you can be sued and/or have charges brought up against YOU!   If someone else does it using your property with your full knowledge still can make you liable because otherwise how would you prove it wasn't you unless that other person fully confesses, like that's really going to happen but if it did you are just as guilty for letting them use your property to do the bad deed! When you are caught with child porn on your computer or cell phone and get caught with it, do you really think by saying "It wasn't me" is going to save you from charges being placed against you?   NOT Kids are using this to bully others, set up fights, and harass other kids!    We as parents needs to put a stop to it now before it gets way out of hand!!!!   Monitor your bills closely; monitor your child's phone and computer!    This is a serious situation that should be addressed fully by responsible parenting! Adults who do this is totally on their own and if you really think you can't get caught doing this then think again, because the cell phone company knows everything that comes and goes through your cell phones and your computer has everything transaction that you do even if you delete, it's still there!!!    Even Bloggers can be bullies at times with comments and posts but that's when FOX can step in!!! Have you heard of this and do you feel the same as I do?    What's you comment about Cyber Bullies?    BLOG IT HERE!!!

Sacrifices for Venues could have everything to do with all the threats of cuts and the canceled agenda's! It puts questions in my mind of what is really priority here and the reasoning behind it as well as the staged long voted meeting with the Board!

So what sacrifices did they make to have the funds for covered costs on all this? Of course all the cutting threats started a while back ago and it seems funny that now they all of a sudden have the money to vote yes on the Venues! Just think of all they cut in order to have this money they had already started planning for and used other excuses for the cause!

There are two I have full knowledge of......

Fort Christmas Park still has the Historic School and other buildings awaiting restoration---(agenda thrown out even though it has been a five year wait already for promised funds)!

Orange County Fire & Rescue still has a trailer for their station and a tall wide open over hang for their equipment---(funds cut and they are forced to evacuate the station during hurricanes because of it's structured building, GO FIGURE)!!!

What other sacrifices do you think or have knowledge of which their funds could have been effected to cover the costs for each Venues project planned?
